Stories from the Past

Get it? Aller-sneeze? Like, allergies, except with a sneeze! Oh, I'm so PUNNY.

Eh-knee-way, yes, I have allergies. Yes, I already told you. Yes, it's full blast allergies. Yes, I'm just gonna move on now before I start complaining.

Oh! MUSIC! Did I tell you guys I was accepted into Nevada All-State Middle School Choir? ALTO, BAYBEH!! Yeah, my choir teacher nominated me along with 10 other kids. Overall there's 3 bases, 4 tenors, 2 altos, and 2 sopranos. I was pretty anxious at first, but now the rehearsal's are a lot of fun. Everyone's so nice!

I have the music with me. The songs are really tricky. They're made for high school choirs. Here are some lyrics from one of the songs:

Ipharadisi ikhayalabafile lapho sophumla khona Ipharadisi

Like, what??! What does that even mean?! Ipharadisi, ikhayalabafile, Ipharadisi, ikhayalabafile. I think it's pronounced ee-fah-rah-dee-see ee-kah-yah-lah-bah-fee-lee. I'll get it eventually, but wow, that's difficult.

I always have so much more to tell you, but I must go! I must. . . I shall. . . Haha, woah. Pip pip ta-doodley doo!

In Honors Choir at my school, we have to sing a song in a different language, too. It's in YUGOSLAVIAN. I don't really know, but it's popular in Yugoslavia. It's called Niska Banja. Mmmhmm. Weird stuff.
